Filter by:Prospective, multicenter, non-randomized study. Primary endpoint : to confirm the proper functioning of the device in vivo by analyzing intra and interobserver reproducibility of repeated measurements on healthy controls. Secondary endpoint : to describe the values of pelvic inclination while standing, sitting and lying in patients with severe hip osteoarthritis before and after total hip arthroplasty After signing the inform consent form: For the first endpoint (, 3 healthy volunteers of different morphotypes will have one consultation comprising : - a medical examination - 10 measurements of pelvic inclination in sitting position, 10 measurements of pelvic inclination in supine position and 10 measurements of pelvic inclination in standing position, each realized per three different operators. These measurements will be carried out with navigated ultrasound. For the secondary endpoint, 30 patients awaiting for a hip replacement surgical intervention will realized one consultation the day before the intervention, and one consultation at 2 months after surgery, each comprising : - a medical examination - 3 measurements of pelvic inclination (1 standing, 1 sitting and 1 supine). These measurements will be carried out with navigated ultrasound.
JointCOACH is a web-based communication platform that enables joint replacement patients to communicate with their care team via computer or smartphone throughout their episode of care, from the time that surgery is scheduled until at least 90 days postoperatively.
The purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness and results of orthopedic patients having access to a cell phone App called HealthLoop to utilize during the postoperative time period, compared to patients who have the usual postoperative management. The researchers want to investigate whether there any differences in outcomes and satisfaction in patients and providers.
A retrospective study will be performed to compare the incidence of revision procedures performed for the treatment of postoperative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) between patients treated with a single preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis and patients treated with multiple shot antibiotic prophylaxis following primary arthroplasty of hip or knee. This study will be conducted in two phases. In phase 1 the investigators will evaluate which antibiotic prophylaxes (type of antibiotic and duration of prophylaxis) are regularly used in the Netherlands, by contacting all orthopaedic centres implanting total hip and total knee prostheses. In phase 2 the investigators will compare infection rate (defined as revision for infection as registered in the LROI database) between a single-shot and multiple shot antibiotic prophylaxis. Knee and hip primary arthroplasties will be considered separately.
The aim of this pilot study was to assess venous flow parameters in patients following total hip arthroplasty, comparing an intermittent pneumatic compression foot device with a portable neuromuscular electrostimulator device. Assessments were performed in a single sitting before hospital discharge, between days 1 to 4 post operatively. The total duration of participation for each patient who completed the study was approximately 2.5 hours.
In this study we will investigate the relation between performed exercise dose and recovery after total hip replacement (THA). A dose-response relationship is hypothesized. It is the primary objective to indicate the preliminary efficacy of home-based rehabilitation using elastic band exercise on performance-based function after THA, based on the relationship between the performed exercise dose (objectively quantified time under tension summary dose) and the change in 40 meter maximal gait speed (performance-based function) from 3 (start of intervention) to 10 weeks (end of intervention) after surgery.
Cortisol is a hormone that increases after trauma or surgery and has circadian rhythm. It has a form that is increased in the morning and decreased in the evening. The investigators expected to be influenced by circadian rhythm according to the time of operation, and compared morning and afternoon surgery.
This project will be a descriptive, hypothesis-generating study. The aim is to identify risk factors for poor response to rehabilitation programs after TJR and use these to identify patients who are most susceptible to poor outcomes in order to optimise appropriate rehabilitations strategies and rationalising the distribution of health care resources.
Osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic degenerative muscle disease characterized by cartilage wear, causes progressive joint deformity and loss of function leading to the indication of total hip arthroplasty (THA), when conservative treatments fail. Surgical trauma leads to pain and induces an immune response. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has proven effective in tissue repair by modulating the inflammatory process and promoting pain relief. It can therefore be part of the treatment. This study aims to analyze the effect of PMBT on inflammation and pain of patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty. The study consisted of eighteen patients who underwent hip arthroplasty and they received phototherapy in a period from 8 to 12 hours after surgery. We divided the patients into two groups (n=9 each) placebo and effective phototherapy. The patients were evaluated before and after phototherapy with 9 diodes, applied to 5 points along the scar (1 laser 905nm, 4 LEDs 875nm and 4 LEDs 640nm, 40.3J total), by visual analogue scale (VAS) and blood collection for analysis of the levels of the cytokines TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8.
Patients in fast-track programmes are required to take an active part in their treatment and rehabilitation. Spouses of older patients can often provide valued practical and emotional support, reducing stress, pain and length of stay - yet they are seldom invited to participate in a supporting role. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of spouses' involvement in older patients fast-track treatment programs using case management as intervention. A two-group quasi-experimental design with pre-test and repeated post-test measures (protocol approved in November 2012) was used. Patients aged 65 years or older going through a fast-track programme for a total hip replacement and their spouses was recruited in dyads from one Danish orthopaedic ward for the intervention group (n=15) and for the control group (n=14). Data was collected from both groups at baseline, two weeks and three months after surgery. Outcome measures for patients include: functional status, nutrition, pain, depression and healthcare consumptions; and for spouses: caregiver satisfaction and difficulties and anxiety.
